Belmont board will take us benefits for ex-spouses on Monday

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — According to its agenda for Monday’s meeting, the Selectboard will discuss the proposed change to

the personnel policy that governs how, when and at whose expense ex-spouses of employees can continue health insurance coverage.

The proposed changes spec-

ify, that, if adopted, ex-spouses can remain on a two-person or family membership of a town employee, at his or her own expense, for 36 months or, if the ex is aged 55 or older, until he or

she becomes eligible for Medicare. If the subscriber remarries, the ex-spouse is on his or her own.

Selectmen voted to table any see BELMONt page 10

Selectmen agree to delay controversial layoff until another discussion can be held

Calm water before the storm

LACONIA — Police are investigating a reported fight allegedly between members of two rival motorcycle clubs at a Weirs restaurant Thursday night.

GILFORD — The Selectboard has voted unanimously to allow the town’s land use technician to remain in the town’s planning office until they can revisit the viability of the position at its next meeting.

Selectman Gus Benavides said the three met with Stephanie Verdile Philibotte in a non-public meeting following Wednesday’s meeting and voted to seal the minutes regarding the discussion but did not seal the resulting unanimous vote.

Benavides said Chair John O’Brien made the motion to extend Philibotte’s position, he seconded it, and the vote was unanimous.

At issue was the public outcry at Wednesday’s selectman’s meeting by members of the Conservation Commission and the Zoning Board of Adjustment against eliminating Philibotte’s position and making the department’s secretary position full-time.

One by one members of the two town boards stood at the public podium and expressed the need for the position and lauded Philibotte’s expertise and professionialism in the way she handles see GILFOrd page 12

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Tripoli began to look like a solidly rebel-held city on Friday, the calmest day in the capital since Moammar Gadhafi’s opponents swept in nearly a week ago.

Some even celebrated in the streets, marching and chanting, “Hold your head high! You are a free Libyan.”

There were still occasional gunbattles, but nothing like the bloody firefight Thursday in which rebels drove loyalists from a neighborhood close to Gadhafi’s captured compound.

As the fighting waned, the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva expressed concern about treatment of detainees on both sides.

The ICRC has been able to visit some prisoners, but “there are hundreds more probably,” spokesman Steven Anderson said.

Dozens of decomposing bodies were piled up in and near an abandoned hospital next to the Gadhafi compound, revealing some of the war’s brutality. One see LIBYA page 6

2 million ordered to leave ahead of Irene New York City subway system will shut down at noon on Saturday MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. (AP) — Whipping up trouble before ever reaching land, Hurricane Irene zeroed in Friday for a catastrophic run up the Eastern Seaboard.

More than 2 million people were told to move to safer places, and New York City ordered its entire network of subways shut down for the first time because of a natural disaster.

As the storm’s outermost bands of wind and rain began to lash the Outer Banks of North Carolina, authorities in points farther north begged people to get out of harm’s way. The hurricane lost some strength but still packed 100 mph winds, and officials in the Northeast, not used to tropical weather, feared it could wreak

devastation.

“Don’t wait. Don’t delay,” said President Barack Obama, who decided to cut short his summer vacation by a day and return to Washington. “I cannot stress this highly enough: If you are in the projected path of this hurricane, you have to take precautions now.”

Senior hurricane specialist Richard Pasch of the National Hurricane Center said there were signs that the hurricane may have weakened slightly, but strong winds continued to extend 100 miles from its center.

The moment Saturday when the eye of the hurricane crosses land “is not as important as just being in that big swath,” Pasch said. “And unfortunately, it’s a big target.”

Hurricane warnings were issued from North Carolina to New York, and watches were posted farther north, on the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard off Massachusetts. Evacuation orders covered at least 2.3 million people, including 1 million in New Jersey, 315,000 in Maryland, 300,000 in North Carolina, 200,000 in Virginia and 100,000 in Delaware.

“This is probably the largest number of people that have been threatened by a single hurricane in the United States,” said Jay Baker, a geography professor at Florida State University.

New York City ordered more than 300,000 people who live in flood-prone see IRENE page 8

GILFORD (AP) — New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch declared a state of emergency Friday as Hurricane Irene moved up the East Coast to ensure that the state has enough resources before the storm arrives this weekend. The National Weather Service placed the entire state under a tropical storm watch.

The storm is expected to hit the state with heavy rains and high winds on Saturday night and throughout the day on Sunday.

“We will experience high winds and

heavy rains, which could lead to flooding, fallen trees and downed power lines,” Lynch said. “It is important that all New Hampshire citizens and visitors monitor the situation closely and make necessary preparations.”

The National Guard is on state active duty and ready to help as needed, and Lynch asked the president to declare an emergency before the storm reaches the state so that federal support is available if needed, the governor’s office said.

All state parks — including all beaches

on the Seacoast — state forests and trails will be close on Saturday at 6 p.m. through at least Tuesday. The National Forest Service also will close the White Mountain National Forest and all of its trails and campgrounds at the same time.

New Hampshire emergency management officials also urged all private campground owners to notify guests of the impending storm.

Local libraries adapting as e-books become more & more popular

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Asked what threats he foresaw on the horizon when city councilors and department heads held a strategic planning session, Randy Brough, director of the Laconia Public Library, replied flatly “Kindle.”

“I was joking,” Brough said afterwards, explaining that the library has added e-books to its offerings and “we’re still busier than ever. Libraries are pretty good at having an eye out for the latest trend,” he continued, “and taking the lead in adapting to new technologies.”

The Laconia Public Library, together with its counterparts in Gilford and Meredith, are among 170 libraries across the state that belong to the New Hampshire Downloadable Books Consortium, a program operated by the state library that provides e-books to library cardholders with digital devices.

Erin Apostolos, director of the Meredith Public Library, said that libraries have links to the consortium on their websites and cardholders can download titles from their homes. Readers are limited to downloading three titles for two weeks at any one time. When the two weeks have passed, the title simply disappears from the digital reader.

Brough said the library loans between 80 and 90 e-books a month and the number is rising steadily.

Katherine Dormody of the Gilford Public Library said that the Kindle, unlike the Nook marketed

by Barnes & Noble, has not been compatible with OverDrive, the digital distributor of e-books used by the consortium and most libraries. However, in April Amazon and OverDrive announced the Kindle Library Lending Program that will enable Kindle owners to download e-books from the consortium later this year when. Dormody anticipates circulation will increase significantly.

The Gilford library also loans out two Kindles, each with between 20 and 25 titles. that were donated to the library. “They have their time and their place,” Dormody said. “They are good for travelers and older readers, because you can adjust the size of the font to suit your eyesight. Not all book are printed in large type.” Meanwhile, she said that once a week the library provides “check out an expert,” when someone familiar with e-books is available to assist “e-readers” with operating their devices and accessing more titles.

None of the three library directors reported a decline in circulation from the emergence of e-books.

Dormody said that some patrons who purchased or received Kindles resumed borrowing books once they exhausted the titles and discovered the cost of additional titles, usually about $10. Likewise, Apostolos said that her staff makes a point of assisting e-readers and Brough said his staff is regularly trained on the latest developments with e-books.”If people are using them,” Brough said, “we want to help them.” he said

All three considered e-books a new and different format for delivering the traditional product of libraries and expected to expand their offerings of digital titles. “We are here to get people to read,” Dormody said, “to promote literacy and make sure people keep reading. We are trying to embrace all formats.”

Apostolos declared simply that “there is room for the public and e-books.”

Brough described the e-book as “ just another medium, another way to experience a book, an additional means of reaching reaching readers.”

For the moment, the challenge for libraries is not too many e-books but too few. This spring Harper Collins, the publisher, announced it would allow its digital titles to be checked out only 26 times, effectively reducing their shelf life in libraries to one year. The move sparked a public debate about e-books in libraries as librarians were clamoring for more titles to meet the growing from their patrons and publishers began thinking how much the access to their titles should cost.

Bernanke looks for Congress to stimulate U.S. economy

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has a message for Congress: Do more to stimulate hiring and growth — or risk delaying the economy’s return to full health.

Bernanke held out the prospect Friday that the Fed may take further steps later to help the economy. But he offered no new plans for now.

At a time when Congress has focused on shrinking budget deficits, Bernanke agreed that doing so is important for the long term. But he warned lawmakers not to “disregard the fragility of the current economic recovery.”

Investors had hoped Bernanke would use his much-anticipated speech at an economic conference in Jackson Hole to unveil some aggressive measure to jolt the economy.

He didn’t. But he did say the Fed’s September policy meeting will be extended to two days, instead of the scheduled one, to permit a “fuller discussion” of the central bank’s options.

“He appears to be saying that the Fed has largely played its part and that the politicians need to step up their game,” said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

Investors seemed to take comfort from Bernanke’s view that the job market and the economy will return to full health in the long run and the notion that the Fed might provide more help in the future.

After initial losses, the Dow Jones industrial average closed up 134 points.

Correction: Hearing on hospitals suit will not be held before Ocotber 5

A story in Friday’s edition of The Daily Sun mistakenly reported that the United States District Court has scheduled a hearing on the lawsuit filed against the state by LRGHealthcare and nine other hospitals for October 5. In fact, at the request of both parties, the court agreed not to schedule a hearing before October 5. It could be later.

Alexander Cockburn

The real Obama The White House that shook in Tuesday’s earthquake has been home to its present incumbent for 32 months. President Obama wasn’t around to watch the furniture shake. He’s up on Martha’s Vineyard for the third year in a row with Michelle and their two daughters, bunkered in a $25,000-a-week holiday rental on a lush 28-acre estate in the little town of Chilmark.

He’s keeping a low profile. Words like “standoffish” roll petulantly off the tongues of the island’s liberal elites. They were spoiled by Bill Clinton, who spent six presidential vacations on the Vineyard. No renter, he. Bill freeloaded on rich pals and party donors, mostly synonymous.

No one could ever accuse Bill of being standoffish, though he once confided to Vernon Jordan that he preferred Jackson Hole, Wyo., to Martha’s Vineyard as a vacation spot since it was impossible to get women in the stuffy Massachusetts resort.

Obama’s standoffishness includes, I am informed by one knowledgeable Martha’s Vineyard local, failure to show at an exclusive fundraiser. As well as a party of his friend Henry Louis Gates, the Harvard professor whose July 2009 spat with the Cambridge police once prompted the normally hyper-prudent Obama to say the cops had acted “stupidly” — probably the most vivid off-the-cuff judgment of his entire presidency.

He did show up for one event, but without Michelle. The presidential excuse for her no-show was that he and Michelle didn’t “want to leave the kids alone.” Alone? One of the houses on the Chilmark estate is occupied by the Secret Service, another by close aides. You’d think at least two could have been pressganged into child-minding duties.

Like many presidents trying to have a holiday, Obama has drawn fire for lounging about on the Vineyard for 10 days while ordinary Americans battle hard times, and Hurricane Irene threatens the Atlantic seaboard.

So, as with other presidents, his pressman claims 50-percent of Obama’s time is spent doing the nation’s business, much of it hunkered down with his counterterrorism advisor, John Brennan.

Presumably, they are reviewing intelligence reports that claim alQaeda is planning something really big for Sept. 11, 2011, to mark the tenth anniversary of the destruction of the Twin Towers.\ As president, Obama is not doing well. It’s not just a matter of the 53-percent disapproval rating, reported Wednesday by Gallup.

After two-and-a-half years, people are beginning to come to settled opinions about their president, and many of these aren’t flattering.

In 2008, liberals and most leftists

were deeply in love with Obama.

They genuinely believed the promissory notes about a better America that he strewed along the campaign trail and has since welshed on at a rate of well over 90-percent.

The face-off over the debt ceiling, at the start of this month, was the final straw. Take a man I have known for many decades, William Broyles, former Marine, lifelong Texan Democrat, speech writer in the Carter White House, former Newsweek editor, co-creator of “China Beach,” “Apollo 13” and “Cast Away.”

Ten days ago, Bill wrote a furious Newsweek column headlined “The Oval Office Appeaser.” Bill is normally a courteous man, not one who likes to hurl moldy cabbages from the balcony. I’ve never known him to write more angrily.

“After each betrayal, after each terribly bad bargain, Obama comes out waving a piece of paper, a onesided agreement to appease the Republicans — peace in our time... A despair grips America today, a cold fear that our best days are behind us, that we are adrift and powerless.

Yes, the Republicans are to blame.

But so is a president who treats core American values as bargaining chips, who won’t fight for anything, who refuses to lead. It turns out hope does matter... Americans aren’t inspired by well-meaning weakness.

We like strong leaders, particularly in desperate times.”

Obama is a very curious fellow. I don’t think any writer thus far has got the measure of the man. Take the Obama White House. From the news-leak point of view he presides over the tightest ship in living memory. Leaks, corridor gossip, my-side-of-the-story confidences of policy-makers battling for the president’s ear, depth charges planted by such powerful cabinet members as Hillary Clinton? None of the above.

This is the White House of a man in total control, contrasting markedly with Clinton’s fitful supervision of the shambolic White House of his two terms.

But Obama, where it counts, is not in control. Republicans, regarded as certifiably insane by a lot more Americans than disapprove of Barack Obama, face him down and he leaps to do their bidding, even as they kick him in the teeth for not doing more.

He tugs his forelock to Wall Street, the defense industry, the oil companies, Monsanto, the agriculture industry, Israel. He is an appeaser, as Broyles charged. And when the dust of battle rises, he cuts and runs.

Last week, the Democrats got a nasty shock when The New York Times ran a story reporting on the battle for Anthony Weiner’s Brooklyn district. Weiner resigned from Congress on June 16, done in by Twittering photos of his penis to see next page

LETTERS Dems were in charge when a lot of those tax breaks were enacted To the editor, Mr. Allard seems upset that I pointed out the things he didn’t say that would have diminished his arguments. I stand by what I said and offer a few comments on his latest writing.

Regarding my comment on earned income tax credits, Allard wrote, “Despite what Mr. Meade claims — incorrectly — this credit does not “essentially” offset low income workers’ payrolls taxes.” Well, I stand by my statement and invite the readers to check out this reference and then decide for themselves: http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Earned_Income_Tax_Credit.

(I think I win this one.)

I don’t know why Mr. Allard decided to state that Bank of America received a trillion dollars from the “Federal Reserve” and the Treasury. It does seem odd that BofA would have paid back the initial $45-billion in tarp money, and bought back their shares from the government, if the Federal Reserve thought they needed to prop them up with a trillion dollars. Perhaps Mr. Allard could provide the reasoning and documentation for his trillion dollar claim. As to BofA paying back their bailout, here’s a link you might want to peruse, http://www. dsnews.com/articles/bank-of-americato-repay-entire-45b-bailo...

As to Mr. Allard’s railing against corporations having a “stacked deck” when it comes to paying taxes. First, I will refer him back to my original letter and the plethora of taxes corporations pay (he didn’t like my pointing them out). But as to those pesky “loopholes”, let us have a little historical perspective. Prior to Republican’s House of Representative victory in 1994, the Democrats controlled that

body for 48 years, since Eisenhower was president. During that period, Democrats controlled the tax code.

From 1994 to 2006, the Republicans had a majority in the House and, during that time, were able to force through welfare reform (Clinton had vetoed it twice) and had managed to author a balanced budget . . . something the Democrats continually try to take the credit for.

What Allard fails to mention is that those nasty, money grubbing corporations are taking legal deductions that were probably written into the tax code by Democrats. He also fails to mention that it is the government that writes those tax rules in order to influence corporations to do what they, the government, want.

For example, this administration is a strong proponent of so-called “green energy”, and the president has proposed taking existing “incentives” from the oil and gas industries and giving them to the greenies. http:// www.ft.com/cms/s/0/bdbe6f54-2f0e11e0-88ec-00144feabdc0.html#axzz....

Yet another case of the government causing a negative situation and then blaming the public.

I will agree with anyone, including Mr. Allard, who wants to get rid of the 72,000 page IRS tax code and replace the whole thing with an honest, easy to read and understand taxing system.

However, if we do come up with an equitable system to replace the mess we now have, it should include a provision that would make it extremely difficult for politicians to change it.

Remember, the bottom line is that we, the people, pay all the taxes.

LETTERS Where’s the proposed contract between city & purple bag makers?

To the editor, The City of Laconia is having a Public Forum on their Pay-As-You-Throw Program on Wednesday, September 14 at the Laconia Middle School Auditorium, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.. “All residents are invited to attend an informational, question-and-answer forum on a proposed Pay-As-You-Throw solid waste disposal program.”

Today, August 25, I went to Laconia City Hall then to Laconia Public Works to look at the file on what information the Laconia City Council has on the PAYT program. What I was looking for is a proposed contract between the City of Laconia and Waste Zero, which was not in the file. Waste Zero is the company that will supply the purple bags for $2 to $3 each.

In other cities across the country which Waste Zero has contracts with there is a yearly fee of between $50,000 to $150,000, ect. depending on the size of the city or

town. This information has not been supplied by our $75 an hour paid consultant Liz Bedard.

In a letter to Ann Saltmarsh of Laconia Public Works from Archie St Hilaire, president ot Bestway Disposal, which does the garbage pick up for the City of Laconia, he answered the question of how much extra per year PAYT will cost the City of Laconia taxpayers, his answer was “$90,000 per year”.

How can a Laconia City Council answer question that they don’t have answers for?

A Right-To-Know request will be made of the Cities of Dover, Concord and Franklin for their contract with Waste Zero. That way I can answer the questions for the Laconia City Counsil.

David Gammon Laconia

I did not say blacks couldn’t be racists in societies they dominate To the editor, I am responding to Bob Meade’s letter in the Sun on August 23, where he asks me to refute my statements on racism. Bob is often asking readers to pay attention yet he doesn’t seem to take his own advice. Had he read my column more carefully, he would have realized that what I was saying is that when any dominant race oppresses another that is racism because of the power imbalance. Thus, if AfricanAmericans were in the majority in the U.S. and they oppressed white people on a grand scale, that would be classified under racism according to my definition. Because white people are in the majority in the U.S. and have oppressed blacks, I chose U.S. whites from preceding page women, none of them his wife or even a constituent. The Republican challenger is apparently making a strong showing in this traditionally Democratic district. The Times quoted life-long Democrats expressing their discontent in virulent terms.

There are plenty of Obama loyalists out there. I know leftists who still forlornly try to make a case for the man and will stay true to the end. But if they vote for him next year, it won’t be for any positive reason, like what sent them delightedly to the polls in 2008, searching for hope. They’ll gesture to Gov. Rick Perry or some other Republican challenger and fall back on the “lesser of two evils” argument.

But will this work with the sort of bluecollar union people and independents who voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 because they thought Carter was a wimp who couldn’t handle the economy?

Bill Clinton survived incompetence and scandal because enough Americans felt like somewhat disillusioned brides after two or three years of facing the real thing across the breakfast table. “Dump him? For who?

Anyway, he’s promised me he’ll try to do better.” He’s a flake and a liar, but he’s our flake and our liar.

No one feels like that about Obama.

He’s not a man who elicits mass affection. People whose vote he courts are genuinely confused. Does he believe in

to make my point. I would also like to add that in South Africa when apartheid ended, South African blacks chose not to exact revenge on the white security forces that oppressed, tortured and killed thousands of them.

Instead, they utilized the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. I wonder what would have happened if the shoe had been on the other foot.

I just don’t see a high level of white hatred among members of the black community but when it does exist, it is on a very small scale and a response to racism rather than racism itself. I rest my case.

Leo R. Sandy New Hampton

lars for the 2012 campaign? Now he’s on the trail again, assuring people without jobs that he’ll put them back to work. It’s a very tough sell.

Meanwhile Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who entered the Republican race, only a week ago, is surging against his opponents. Wednesday’s Gallup poll has him in a commanding lead over the “moderate” Republican Mitt Romney, with 29-percent saying they are most likely to support Perry. Former front-runner Mitt Romney at 17-percent, Ron Paul at 13-percent and Michele Bachmann at 10-percent are next, with four other candidates at four percent or less.

The conservative Perry’s done this by staking out fierce positions, just as Reagan did against Carter. It doesn’t matter that the opinions grate on the sensibilities of the liberal commentariat. He’s not after their approval.

Perry’s a tough campaigner, not like Bob Dole, whom Clinton had the luck to face in 1996.

These days, apropos Obama, some lines from a Hollywood classic, “Touch of Evil,” float into my mind: Welles: Come on, read my future for me.

Dietrich: You haven’t got any.

Welles: Hmm? What do you mean?

Dietrich: Your future’s all used up.

To the editor, The Oxford English Dictionary defines racism as “discrimination (Treating people differently through prejudice: unfair treatment of one person or group, usually because of prejudice about race, ethnicity, age, religion or gender) against or antagonism (hostility or hatred) towards other races.

Affirmative action has revised the agenda that substitutes individual rights with group entitlements, color blindness with race-consciousness, freedom with coercion. we have seen the concept of civil rights transformed from basic rights once held inviolate into special privileges for some while burdening others.

Yes! Black’s, brown’s, yellow’s or any other color or ideology or those who hold no ideology but follow the crowd can be just as racist as the whites.

Teaching anything other is discriminatory in nature and practice. Did not Martin Luther King Jr. teach and expound equal rights for all.

George Washington Carver, Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington, Mathew Gaines, Billie Holiday, Con-

gresswoman Carrie P. Meek , Toni Morrison and many other Black Americans achieved great heights and were loved and admired by many Americans. They would not have faired as well under affirmative action.

My favorite economist is Thomas Sowell. A brilliant man who knows how to write and does his research.

My favorite comedian has always been Bill Cosby who has tried to set a good example to all blacks. Getting an education and setting a good example has not caught on to many of his race.

My favorite country recording star still remains Charlie Pride.

It is very sad that so many professors have and continue to twist so many young minds. They continue to stir the pot of contention and teach hate and indifference. This is why parents need to teach their children well and not delegate there young ones education to others, that they will go out into the world wiser and stronger in character and virtues, not to be influenced by every dogma or ideology that seems popular at the time.

Last year out Career Partnership Program placed 71 I-L students To the editor, The Greater Meredith’s Career Partnership Program at Inter-Lakes High School is excited for another prosperous school year. Last year the program placed 71 students in job shadows and internships within our community. This was possible with the help and support of our local businesses, the Inter-Lakes School District, the Career Partnership committee and parents and students.

The program focuses on a five-prong approach, including job shadows, internships, a speakers’ bureau, community services and summer employment opportunities. The program is a

valuable resource in the high school’s guidance department.

If you would like to learn more about the program, please contact me at 279-6162 x 304 or rhonda.hanaway@ interlakes.org.

LIBYA from page 2 hospital room had 21 bodies lying on gurneys. The floors were covered with shattered glass and bloodstains, and medical equipment was strewn about.

It was unclear when the men died or who killed them, but they had darker skin than most Libyans. Gadhafi had recruited fighters from sub-Saharan Africa.

In a new advance for the rebels Friday, fighters took control of the main border crossing with Tunisia after battling Gadhafi loyalists who had held out there, Tunisia’s official news agency reported. The rebels control other posts along the border, but Ras Ajdir is the primary crossing between the two countries and would allow them to more easily bring supplies into Libya.

In Tripoli, some residents emerged gingerly from homes where they had taken cover for days. They looked upon a shattered city, largely without power or water and stinking with garbage, but also with no sign of the man who had ruled their lives for the past 42 years.

Gadhafi’s whereabouts were unknown.

His portraits have been trampled, his green flags shredded and replaced with the rebel red, black and green.

through Tripoli’s shuttered downtown, leaning on her daughter for help, said her family had been surviving for days on pasta and tomato paste, but the fear and suffering in six months of civil war were worth it to taste freedom.

“We can speak freely now. We can talk on the phone,” she said with a tired smile. “People are comfortable now spiritually and with that, anything is possible.”

Rebels were pushing Gadhafi fighters to Tripoli’s outskirts. Abdul Majid Mgleta, a rebel military chief, said there were still some pockets of resistance, but he hoped to take full control over the capital and capture Gadhafi within days.

Still, Tripoli’s rebel military commander was confident enough to declare the capital liberated.

“Libya is now free with dignity,” Abdel-Hakim Belhaj told reporters Friday night. He added that hundreds of Gadhafi fighters had surrendered in the past two days.

Rebel fighters and NATO turned their attention 250 miles (400 kilometers) east to Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte, his last major bastion of sup-

Ganong family spirit drives Brenda’s Ride; fundraiser on wheels contributes to cancer fight

By RogeR Amsden ADMSDEN NEWS AGENCY

LACONIA — The ninth annual Brenda’s Ride with Friends held August 20 raised well over $10,000 to fight cancer.

“This community is unbelievable.

Everybody pulls together to help out. That’s why it’s so great to live here,” said Brenda Ganong, a cancer survivor since 1997, who along with her husband, John, started the fundraiser in 2003.

She said 174 motorcycles turned out for the ride, which started from the Weirs Beach Lobster Pound at midmorning and returned there for entertainment and more fundraising Saturday afternoon after a ride up to Thornton.

And she got a big surprise during the entertainment when her husband, John, who had a heart transplant in January, took to the stage and performed a Blues Brothers routine with his son, Jason.

It’s a routine made famous at Christmas Island on Weirs Boulevard at numerous fundraisers over the years and qualifies as the stuff of local legend.

“It came as a complete surprise to me. I didn’t expect it at all,” says Brenda, who says she first met John in 1998, when she was a one-year sur-

vivor of breast cancer.

John, who has been known to ride his motorcycle dressed in a Santa Claus outfit at various fundraising events ever since he moved to the Lakes Region from Somerville, Mass., nearly 30 years ago, has been back on his motorcycle for a few months now as his body adjusts to his new heart.

“It’s a miracle. You’re looking at a miracle,” said John as he got ready to help Brenda lead Saturday’s ride.

There to see them off was Brenda’s daughter Christine Day of Northfield, who Brenda says was there for her every day during her cancer ordeal, and Christine’s nine-year -old son, Ben Gloddy.

They couldn’t go along for the ride because Ben, who has been at every one of his grandmother’s ride since he was only two months old, had take part in a motorcycle race later in the day.

He’s been riding motorcycles since he was four and is the reigning New England flat track motorcycle racing champion in his age bracket.

Making the ride Saturday for the second time was Phil of Somerville, Mass., who grew up with John there.

This year’s event had a special meaning for him as his wife, Ellen, is lung cancer survivor, now in remissee next page

IRENE from page 2 areas to leave, including Battery Park City at the southern tip of Manhattan, Coney Island and the beachfront Rockaways. But it was not clear how many would do it, how they would get out or where they would go. Most New Yorkers don’t have a car.

On top of that, the city said it would shut down the subways and buses at noon Saturday, only a few hours after the first rain is expected to fall. The transit system carries about 5 million people on an average weekday, fewer on weekends. It has been shut down several times before, including during a transit workers’ strike in 2005 and after the Sept. 11 attacks a decade ago, but never for weather.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said there was little authorities could do to force people to leave.

“We do not have the manpower to go door-todoor and drag people out of their homes,” he said.

“Nobody’s going to get fined. Nobody’s going to go to jail. But if you don’t follow this, people may die.”

Shelters were opening Friday afternoon, and the city was placed under its first hurricane warning since 1985.

Transit systems in New Jersey and Philadelphia also announced plans to shut down, and Washington declared a state of emergency. Boisterous New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie demanded people “get the hell off the beach” in Asbury Park and said: “You’re done. Do not waste any more time working on your tan.”

Hundreds of thousands of airline passengers were grounded for the weekend. JetBlue Airways said it was scrubbing about 880 flights between Saturday and Monday, most to and from hub airports in New York and Boston. Other airlines said they were waiting to be more certain about Irene’s path before announcing more cancellations.

Thousands of people were already without power.

In Charleston, S.C., several people had to be rescued after a tree fell on their car. from preceding page

sion, after having had extensive chemotherapy for stage four cancer.

Brenda Ganong has served as an inspiration for other people with cancer, like Melinda Garry of Connecticut, who e-mailed her earlier this year saying “Brenda, you were truly an inspiration to me. I was between chemo and radiation when we met at the Looney Bin (and bald!) and you gave me hope. I am happy you approached me for this awesome event and feel proud to support it.”

John has been involved in many fundraising efforts over the years, going back as far as 1997 when he helped found the Laconia Sports Benefit, which has

raised over $34,000 for sports and scholarship funds.

“We set it up to help kids whose parents couldn’t afford to buy them the equipment they needed to play sports. They could go in to any sports store in the area and buy what they needed. It’s helped a lot of kids,” says Ganong.

Ganong who had his own real estate agency for over 20 years, has converted his former real estate office on Weirs Boulevard into a Hawaiian Ice stand which Brenda runs.

Proceeds from Saturday’s ride will go to the Oncology/Hematology Department of LRGHealthcare, which operates Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia and Franklin Regional Hospital in Franklin.

Defying the orders, hardy holdouts in North Carolina put plywood on windows, gathered last-minute supplies and tied down boats. More than half the people who live on two remote islands, Hatteras and Ocracoke, had ignored orders to leave, and as time to change their minds ran short, officials ordered dozens of body bags. The last ferry from Ocracoke left at 4 p.m. Friday.

“I anticipate we’re going to have people floating on the streets, and I don’t want to leave them lying there,” said Richard Marlin, fire chief for one of the seven villages on Hatteras. “The Coast Guard will either be pulling people off their roofs like in Katrina or we’ll be scraping them out of their yards.”

Officially, Irene was expected to make landfall Saturday near Morehead City, on the southern end of the Outer Banks, the barrier island chain. But long before the eye crossed the coastline, the blustery winds and intermittent rains were already raking the coast. By Friday evening 50 mph winds were measured at Wrightsville Beach, N.C. Some took to shelters for protection.

Susan Kinchen, her daughter and 5-month-old granddaughter came to West Carteret High School with about 50 others. She said they didn’t feel safe in their trailer, and the Louisiana native was reminded of how her old trailer lost its roof to Hurricane Katrina, almost six years ago to the day, on Aug. 29, 2005.

“We live in a trailer with her,” said Kinchen, referring to the infant. “I’m not taking any chances.”

Hurricane center meteorologist David Zelinsky said earlier Friday that he expected the storm to arrive as a Category 2 or 3 hurricane. Later in the day, other forecasts showed it would strike most of the coast as a Category 1. The scale runs from 1, barely stronger than a tropical storm, to a monstrous 5. On Friday night, Irene was a Category 2.

Jared Anderson designed T-shirts on sale at DQ to benefit WLNH Children’s Auction

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Dairy Queen on Union Avenue is selling T-shirts designed by a local company, Madhouse Tees. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the WLNH Children’s Auction.

The idea for the fund raiser came to Mike Merrill, owner of the Dairy Queen, when he saw a segment on WMUR’s Chronicle program featuring Madhouse Tees and its owner, Gilford-resident Jared Aronson.

“Jared’s been a customer of ours for years, I didn’t know he had hidden talents,” said Merrill. He contacted Aronson and the two agreed to work together.

Starting earlier this summer and continuing until the annual Children’s Auction in December, Dairy Queen will stock several shirts designed by Aronson and featuring his signature sense of humor. Onefifth of the $15 price for each shirt will be donated

to the Children’s Auction, an annual event which raises funds to be distributed to Lakes Region nonprofit agencies benefiting children.

Most of the shirts at Dairy Queen are also available through Madhousetees.com. One, though, is only currently available at Dairy Queen: a shirt Aronson calls “Larry Big Bird,” in which his design hints that the person inside the costume of the iconic Sesame Street character is none other than the storied Boston Celtics forward.

Aronson, a member of the 2002 graduating class of Gilford High School, designed his first shirt as a member of an Odyssey of the Mind team when he was in elementary school. Then, in high school, his design was used to create the logo of the Francoeur Memorial Basketball Tournament. Aronson started drawing his designs on paper, but at the age of 19, as see next page

BELMONT from page one discussion about the change at their last meeting, asking Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin to have the town attorney review the language of the proposed change.

The matter became public when it was revealed this summer that Selectboard Chairman Jon Pike was paid $11,100 and given the town’s promise to allow him to stay on his former wife’s health insurance policy, at town expense, until he turns 65, or until she is no longer a town employee.

Pike, and ex-wife, Town Clerk-Tax Collector Cynthia DeRoy, were divorced in 2006 according to records provided by the court.

Apparently, Pike threatened to sue the town and that threat led to the town’s concessions, approved

by Selectman Ron Cormier.

Town policy allows for elected officials to become members of the town’s heath insurance policy made available through the Local Government Center but at their own expense.

A media spokesperson for the LCG said this week that she would be unable to comment in general on COBRA provisions because there were so many different types of policies from which a member town could choose and she couldn’t comment on any specific town’s agreements with them for professional reasons.

In a series of letters between Beaudin and resident George Condodemetraky, who has been pressing for more information, The Daily Sun has learned from that the agreement with Pike came “because a claim was made against the town.”

No lawsuit was filed in Belknap County Superior Court and, to date, no documentation about Pike filing any kind of threatened legal action against the town in writing — the two standards that must be met for discussing the issue in a non-public section — have been made available.

In addition, Condodemetraky has challenged the board’s right to hold the discussion in a non-public session because, in this case, the matter involves two elected officials who he believes are not protected by the N.H. Right-To-Know Law that governs personnel privacy rights.

In a other letter, dated Aug.18, Beaudin told Condodemetraky that there has been an “unwritten policy” that if an employee has a family plan, the ex spouse can remain on the policy because there is not additional expense to the town and no money to be saved by dropping the ex-spouse.

It is not known if DeRoy has or had a two-person or family plan — two of the three choices available for non-union town employees who are not retired.

The third choice is a single-person’s plan, which is presumably less expensive than either a two-person or family plan.

Typically, costs for a family health insurance plan are the same regardless of the total size of the family.

Beaudin also told Condodemetraky that she is “unaware of any situation in town where an exspouse has been permitted to remain on an employee’s health insurance where the cost of the health insurance to the town would have been less if the ex-spouse had been removed.” see next page

from preceding page muscular dystrophy stole more of his physical dexterity, he began designing with computer programs – Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

He’s traded the pen for a Logitech Trackball mouse – with one hand, he manipulates the trackball, with the other, he clicks – and on the screen, his designs take shape. Easier said than done, though. His condition makes it “tedious” to draw, he said, reporting that it takes about 50 hours for him to complete his designs.

Aronson is naturally creative. “I was born that way,” he said. As such, he’s willing to endure the difficulties in order to bring his ideas into creation. “I like sharing my sense of humor,” he said.

He describes his sense of humor as ,”dry, witty” and sometimes, “raunchy,” though those on sale at Dairy Queen are of the family-friendly flavor. Other shirts, available through Madhousetees.com, show

one dance shoe saying to another, “I tapped that,” or King Kong sneaking a peek up Lady Liberty’s robe.

“I look at things in a different way,” Aronson said.

“I try to see the humor in things. I think it’s my way of coping with my disease.”

Lisa Kempton, one of the two daily nurses that Aronson jokingly refers to as his “lesbian mothers,” said her artistic client is constantly cracking jokes, no matter what circumstance he’s in. “He keeps it light all the time. If he has a sense of humor, it carries him all the way through.”

Through his T-shirt company, Aronson is able to express that sense of humor. “I don’t take life too seriously,” he explained. “There are so many bad things in my life that I could focus on but I choose to focus on the good things. I’ve been blessed with a good sense of humor and a talent for art. These two things are a good distraction for how much life can suck.”

Regional emergency shelter will open at Laconia Middle School on Sunday morning

LACONIA — Fire chiefs in Belmont, Gilford and Laconia on Friday issued a statement offering tips for dealing with Hurricane Irene and its aftermath.

Included in the statement from Chief David Parenti, Chief John Beland and Chief Ken Erickson was an announcement that a regional emergency shelter would be operational at Laconia Middle School as of Sunday morning.

“Due to the inclement weather that will be moving into the Lakes Region in the next 48 hours, there is every possibility that storm conditions will bring heavy rains, high wind, local flooding and possible power outages. Additionally this storm could have the potential to immobilize our region through closed highways, blocked roads, and downed power lines. You can protect yourself and your household from the many hazards of a hurricane by planning ahead. We urge all residents to make preparations for self preservation for a minimum of three days.

Please do the following: — Make sure all essential medications/prescriptions are filled and kept with you. Be sure eye glasses if needed are kept with you.

— Maintain several days supply of water and food that needs no cooking or refrigeration.

— Make sure you have access to emergency equipment such as flashlights, first aid kits and a battery operated radio.

— Make plans to protect buildings. Secure lawn furniture and all other items that become projectiles in high winds. Close storm shutters or apply 5/8” marine plywood cut to fit over windows as an option.

— Secure important documents and valuables in from preceding page Another issue that generated controversy with the decision to pay Pike and allow him to stay on DeRoy’s insurance was that with Pike recused because the issue involved him directly and Selectman David Morse recused for reasons unknown, Selectmen’s Vice Chair Ron Cormier both moved and seconded the motion approving the settlement with his colleague.

There was no official recond of any vote.

Beaudin revealed and Cormier confirmed that he did consult with two former selectmen, current Budget Committee Chair Ron Mitchell and Ward Peterson, before making his decision.

a waterproof container on the highest level of your building.

— When using portable generators never us indoors or in enclosed spaces. Use caution when fueling generators, let them cool and do it away from the building. Exhaust from these units contains carbon monoxide (CO). Do not supply generator power to your homes main line. Generators should be installed by a licensed electrician.

— Do not use portable charcoal or propane gas grills inside of buildings under any circumstances.

Island residents should be considering their individual needs. Persons living on islands should consider temporary lodging on the mainland, especially those with existing medical conditions. All residents need to be reminded that emergency response to islands may be significantly delayed during weather events of this nature. In addition, water conditions may make it impossible to access your frontage directly and may require emergency service to travel across an island in order to reach your residence. Also for consideration is the ability to leave an island if conditions become severe. If a person finds themselves wanting to leave mid-storm, they should not expect that transportation will be available from emergency responders.

A Regional Emergency Shelter Center will be opened on Sunday morning at approximately 10 am. at the Laconia Middle School, 150 McGrath Street, Laconia. Residents who plan on using the shelter are asked to call their local fire or police departments for additional sheltering information prior to going to the center. Sheltered residents should bring the following items: — Change of clothing — Sleeping clothing/gear — Food for six hours and any special dietary needs.

— Pets must be leashed, have their food brought with them, and portable kennels brought with them.

(Limited kennels maybe available) Emergency Preparedness information is available at the following websites: — www.ready.gov — National Hurricane Center www.nhc.noaa.gov — NH Department of Health & Human Services www.dhhs.gov — NH Homeland Security Emergency Management www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/hsem/”

The decision to eliminate the position and lay off Philibotte was termed a cost-cutting measure but members of the town’s various land use boards described the cost savings as minimal when compared to the potential legal liabilities the town could face without the position.

As a cost savings measure for this year’s budget, Selectmen chose to reduce the secretary position from full- to part-time for this budget year, enabling the taxpayer to save money in both salary and benefits.

At the time the selectmen said they supported the cuts in the land us office because the lagging economy had reduced the planning department’s revenue generated through building permit fees and other construction-related income.

In addition, selectmen also voted earlier this year to adjust the town’s fee schedule to generate more income and to make it consistent with building fee schedules in neighboring communities.

Finance Director Geoff Ruggles told residents at the Summer Town forum that the number of residential and commercial building permits was down but this year’s revenue stream is steady because of the commercial fees generated by the Hannaford Brother’s Supermarket building project.

Selectmen next meet at 7 p.m. on Sept. 14 in the conference room on the first floor of the Gilford Town Hall.

Marine Patrol has advice for boaters as Irene approaches GILFORD — The New Hampshire Marine Patrol on Friday issued warnings to the users of inland waters as Hurricane Irene approaches New Hampshire.

“As weather experts continue to update us on the storm’s path, now is the time for property owners and visitors to take the necessary precautions in order to avoid the dangers of a storm of this magnitude.

Island residents should be considering their individual needs. Persons living on an island should consider temporary lodging on the mainland, especially those with existing medical conditions.

All residents need to be reminded that emergency response to islands may be significantly delayed during weather events of this nature. In addition, water conditions may make it impossible to access your frontage directly and may require emergency services to travel across an island in order to reach your residence. Also for consideration is the ability to leave an island if conditions become severe.

If a person finds themselves wanting to leave midstorm, they should not expect that transportation will be available from emergency responders.

Anyone boating this weekend should plan for deteriorating conditions as the weekend progresses.

If boating during stormy conditions can’t be avoided, officials urge all persons aboard to wear a life jacket.

In the event your boat capsizes or swamps, all per-

LACONIA — With the pending inclement weather, Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) day and evening classes have been cancelled for Monday, August 29. There will be no classes on Monday, day or night.

“With the expected bad weather, the decision has been made to cancel LRCC classes on Monday,” says LRCC interim President, Dr. Scott Kalicki. “College personnel are making the decision now to best accommodate students and plans they need to make.”

sons should stay with the boat until help arrives.

Shorefront property owners should also take the necessary steps to secure small row boats, kayaks, canoes, sailboats, etc. and ensure that all docks, lines/ ropes and mooring chains (underwater at the anchor) are in serviceable condition. This equipment is often worn or in disrepair after a long summer season.

Expected high winds and extreme water conditions will ultimately lead to damaged or destroyed boats, swim floats, docks, and other waterfront property.

Your boat will be safest on a mooring if the mooring is equipped with the proper weight and line. If you are keeping your boat at a dock, be sure to tie it ‘bow out’ and remember to trim up the outdrive.

Please continue to monitor weather forecasts and local news outlets for updated information.

In the event of an emergency, Marine Patrol can be reached by calling 911.”

Orange is favored color as Gilmanton issues new dump stickers for the first time in a decade

By Michael Kitch

GILMANTON — The United States Census reported that during the last decade no municipality in Belknap County grew faster than Gilmanton, where the population rose from 3,038 to 3,777, an increase of 23-percent. Only the number of people with decals entitling them to toss their trash at the transfer station grew faster, to between 7,000 and 8,000 since they were last issued at least a decade ago, according to Justin Leavitt, who manages the recycling facility.

“People move out of town or sell their cars and ship the decal with them,” Leavitt said. “The current decals have been in circulation for at least 10 years.

They add up.”

“The cost of disposal is so expensive, we’ve got to tighten it up,” agreed Don Guarino, chairman of the Board of Selectmen. He said recently he followed a

truck with a load of trash from Laconia that turned into the transfer. “Was he from Gilmanton just carrying that around all day or was he from out of town?”

Beginning on September 1, the town will replace the old green decals by issuing new orange ones bearing an expiration date of December 31, 2013.

There will be a $3 charge for each decal. Residents will be required to display the new decals beginning on January 1, 2012. For the same fee property owners with only undeveloped land will be issued decals of a different color and shape entitling them to dispose only of brush.

The town will continue to issue temporary permits for those who neither own property nor reside in town to dispose of household trash while helping residents as well as for residents with temporary plates.

The new decals are available at the Town Clerk’s Office. The application requires a driving license and vehicle registration.

EMERGENCY from page 2 planned to ride out the storm in their RV at Gunstock Mountain Resort in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region.

“We’re taking everything and putting it inside the camper,” said Cunningham, 61, who tied down a portable screen porch with snowmobile straps on all four corners.

Were the Cunninghams nervous? “Nah, just playing it safe,” said Cunningham, of Barrington. He and his wife camp at Gunstock on weekends. They

planned to play cards and board games as they waited out the storm.

Joe Harney, 48, and his daughter, Alycen, 17, from Walpole, Mass., were enjoying a quick getaway tent camping at Gunstock before she heads back to high school. They planned to return home Sunday. Alycen said one of her brothers, who didn’t go, said he was really concerned about them, but they were taking it all in stride. see next page

FIGHT from page one there were “at least two patch members” of the Hells Angels who allegedly mixed it up with at least “at least one patch member of the Devil’s Disciples.”

He said there were other people not necessarily identified as motorcycle club members involved and at least one man was beaten “bloody.”

Adams said the man declined medical treatment, that the alleged members of the Hells Angels had left before police arrived.

He said police investigation revealed at least one Devil’s Disciple and perhaps some “trainees” were shooting pool when the two Hells Angels and a few of their friends entered the restaurant.

He said witnesses told police words were spoken and the six or seven people left the restaurant to fight in the parking lot.

A woman who was at Heat Pizza said she didn’t think the fight was as serious as was described by police and that whatever happened was over in about two minutes.

“Oh, I doubt it,” the woman said when asked about police accounts of a baseball bat or other type of club being involved.

“We’re campers,” Harney said. “We have a gallon and a half of water and I’m looking at Gatorade, so I think we’re all right.”

The state Fish and Game Department urged hikers, campers, fishermen and boaters to get home by Saturday night. “It is unlikely that search and rescue operations will be feasible during the height of the storm,” said Glenn Normandeau, department director.

The New Hampshire Marine Patrol also warned people who use the state’s inland waterways that they need to prepare for the arrival of Hurricane Irene as well as people on the coast.

Sizemore started the scoring with a home run into the last row of Green Monster seats in left, making it 4-1.

After Weeks fanned but reached first, Coco Crisp walked before Hideki Matsui doubled both home with a drive off the center-field wall. Willingham then homered into the Monster seats, his 23rd, making it 8-1.

Boston outfielder Darnell McDonald pitched the ninth, allowing Willingham’s two-run double after walking the first two batters.

For a while it looked as though it could be similar to Thursday afternoon in New York when Oakland opened a 7-1 lead before its pitching staff was pounded.

Boston answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth on consecutive homers by Pedroia and Ortiz. Pedroia’s was his 17th, tying his career high set in 2008 when he won the AL’s MVP award. Jacoby Ellsbury tripled and scored.

The Red Sox had runners on first and second with one out in the sixth, but Gonzalez got McDonald to pop to second. Brian Fuentes relieved and Ellsbury fouled weakly to third. Boston stranded two more in the seventh.

Oakland ended any likelihood of a comeback by scoring four in the eighth against Matt Albers, opening a 13-4 lead.

BOSTON (AP) — Scott Sizemore and Josh Willingham each hit two-run homers during a six-run fourth inning that carried the Oakland Athletics to a 15-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday, denying Tim Wakefield’s bid for his 200th win.

The win comes one day after the A’s lost 22-9 at Yankee Stadium, allowing a major league-record three grand slams.

Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz hit consecutive homers for Boston, which opened a nine-game homestand after going 6-2 on a recent trip through Texas and Kansas City.

Wakefield (6-6), making his sixth try to become the 108th pitcher to reach 200 wins, gave up eight runs — four earned — on eight hits, walking two and striking out three. He’s 0-3 with a 4.97 ERA during the six games.

Jemile Weeks and Cliff Pennington each had three hits, and Willingham drove in four runs for the Athletics, who won for the seventh time in nine road games after losing 30 of their previous 37 away from home.

Gio Gonzalez (11-11) gave up four runs, seven hits, striking out five and walking three in 5 2-3 innings for his second straight win after losing five in a row. He picked up just his third road win in 10 decisions.

Leading 2-1 in the fourth, the Athletics scored six runs off Wakefield — four coming after Jarrod Saltafrom preceding page

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

What color is your dream home?

According to what I have read online, the most popular house color, not surprisingly, is white. All you have to do is look around good old New England and you can see quaint villages full of white houses, churches, and town buildings. According to one article, 37-percent of homeowners would choose white as the predominate color if they were to repaint the exterior of their home. I’d say white is pretty popular here in the Lakes Region, but does one color home sell quicker than another? I found that people don’t really shop for a particular color home as it can always can be repainted.

But, I do think a great paint job in the right color or combination of colors can make a difference in the home’s curb appeal and can sometimes make the sale. Buying a home is a very visual process.

Some style homes look better painted one color versus another. You know, that little red cape on the corner might not look as good sky blue.

I thought I would take a look at what has sold since the first of the year in the 12 Lakes Region communities I track to see if there is anything that can be learned about what colors are most popular, which color home sells the quickest, and what other mostly useless or profound info I could gather. So here goes. As of this past Monday there were a little over 440 homes sold. As expected, white appears to the winner with 63 homes. The second most popular color appears to be grey or gray (is there a difference?) with a total of 59 houses. There were 34 beige homes sold, 46 tan, 9 cream, 7 clay, four taupe, one putty, one slate, one pebble, and two sand colored houses. You could infer that a lot of home owners don’t take chances on color and kind of like to be neutral. There were also 34 brown homes sold and one “light brown”… could that really be a chocolaty gray? There was also one mocha home sold (a Dunkin’ Donut’s inspired paint theme).

There was one “maple” colored colonial home sold that looks like it could be taupe, cream, or some kind of tan to me. I get a little colorblind on these shades, but all I can think of is maple flavored oatmeal. There was one gold colored home that sold cheap so that color didn’t help. There was one peach colored waterfront cottage sold that was kind of peachy so that color really fit.

Getting back to more basic colors, there were 19

yellow homes sold. I think yellow looks great on certain homes and makes them really pop. There were 14 blue homes sold and one “light blue”. Red houses generally have a real appeal to some buyers and there were 11 of those sold along with two burgundy. There was one lavender Victorian sold and the pictures of it look of it looked great. There were 14 green, three sage, and one “evergreen”. Do you think “evergreen” means you never have to repaint?

There were 12 natural colored homes sold. “Natural” usually means a clear stain on redwood or cedar shingles. Or perhaps they were too lazy to paint the place at all? There were no “unnatural” ones unless you classify that lavender or peach as such. There were also four “cedar” colored homes sold and four “log” colored homes. I don’t think “log” is a color, do you? The house could be a natural wood color or maybe one of those rare albino white birch log homes? One home’s color was listed as “brk/wht” which turns out to be a brick house with white trim.

There were eight homes whose color was “TBD” which is a shade yet to be determined. Finally, the remainder of the homes sold had no color listed at all. I suspect in those cases the agent inputting the data was perhaps a bit colorblind like me.

The most expensive home sold was brown, followed by a sage, a TBD, a natural, and the lone “evergreen” which actually looks grey-blue (or is it gray-blue) in the pictures. Out of the quickest 20 sales, five homes were white, four grey, one red, one cedar, one tan, one yellow, one clay, 2 “TBD”, and there were 4 homes with no color listed.

So it looks like homes of just about every color sells. I would bet that the main thing regarding the paint color is that the paint is in good condition and is appealing. If you are going to repaint your home before you sell it, look around and see what colors and color combinations look good on homes like yours. Professional painters can also give you some great ideas on colors and color combinations that are appealing and in style today.

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have a higher social interest than merely impressing others with your lifestyle.

You really want to connect with others, laugh, and share and foster a sense of belonging.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You are an excellent judge of character and can also match a person’s personality to the task that will allow him or her to shine. You’ll put these skills to excellent use.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There will be a choice between now and later: Choose now. As Jane Austen proclaimed, “Why not seize the pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations!”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Avoid anyone with a sour disposition -it’s catching. If you do get accidentally poisoned with pessimism, the anecdote is to change each negative word to a positive one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You acknowledge that each person has free will. You often stand back to make room for others to express themselves.

This habit benefits you now, as creative people will want to include you in their plans.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 27).

You’ll make your long-term needs a priority, and the daily matters come together brilliantly. You learn that you can depend on your intuition and instinct for matters as big as finding love or as small as finding your keys.

Last year’s work will become this year’s profit. December brings an astounding piece of good fortune. Libra and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 15, 40, 46 and 11.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If only there was someone you could call to arrange the day’s events into a more amusing juxtaposition. Wait, there is!

An unpredictable Sagittarius or Gemini person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The temptation for public sharing will be high. Just make sure the publicity will be good for you. And save your deepest feelings, fears, funny thoughts and insecurities for your extreme inner circle.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Make some decisions about how you want to be with loved ones and what you intend to accomplish by day’s end. By doing this, you prevent letting the environment control your behavior.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A little vanity will go a long way. You’ll pay attention to your image now so that you can relax and do your work later without worrying about what you look like doing it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The gifts you give that don’t cost money will be the most needed. Your eye contact, a smile, physical assistance, compassion -- the molecules of goodness you radiate will spread themselves all over the globe.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The passion in you is a bubbling cauldron of hot vitality. As you pour yourself into an endeavor, things begin to change very quickly. Tonight you’ll hit your pillow with a smile on your face.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will offer your cooperation to someone with a strong personality. To avoid getting swallowed up by this person’s drive, ambition and personal interest, declare your boundaries and maintain them.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 27, 2011— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Aug. 27, the 239th day of 2011. There are 126 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 27, 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa blew up; the resulting tidal waves in Indonesia’s Sunda Strait claimed some 36,000 lives in Java and Sumatra.

On this date: In 1776, the Battle of Long Island began during the Revolutionary War as British troops attacked American forces, who ended up being forced to retreat two days later.

In 1859, Edwin L. Drake drilled the first successful oil well in the United States, at Titusville, Pa. In 1908, Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, was born near Stonewall, Texas.

In 1939, the first turbojet-powered aircraft, the Heinkel He 178, went on its first full-fledged test flight over Germany.

In 1949, a violent white mob prevented an outdoor concert headlined by Paul Robeson from taking place near Peekskill, N.Y. (The concert was held eight days later.)

In 1957, the USS Swordfish, the second Skate Class nuclear submarine, was launched from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine.

In 1962, the United States launched the Mariner 2 space probe, which flew past Venus in Dec. 1962.

In 1979, British war hero Lord Louis Mountbatten and three other people, including his 14-year-old grandson Nicholas, were killed off the coast of Ireland in a boat explosion claimed by the Irish Republican Army.

In 1989, the first U.S. commercial satellite rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. — a Delta booster carrying a British communications satellite, the Marcopolo 1.

One year ago: Aijalon Gomes, an American held seven months in North Korea for trespassing, stepped off a plane in his hometown of Boston accompanied by former President Jimmy Carter, who had flown to Pyongyang to negotiate his freedom.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My mom has become a handful, and I don’t know what to do about her. I am a grown woman, and I feel like I’m raising a teenager.

Mom had some financial problems and came to live with me 18 months ago. She helps with some bills when she can, but mostly, I am supporting her. I am very organized, and she is a slob. She misplaces things all the time and claims someone else “must have put it there.” I cannot get her to pick up after herself, and if I ask, she gets defensive and it escalates into a fight. My house is crowded with her junk, and she won’t part with any of it. Every time we argue, she threatens to leave and tells everyone, including her parents, that I am a horrible daughter. Then my grandparents call and chew me out.

I can’t go anywhere without her tagging along, including out with friends. My friends are very understanding, and I try to tolerate her childish behavior, but lately it has taken its toll. Talking to her hasn’t helped. I love my mom and don’t want to kick her out onto the streets, but she is impossible to live with and unwilling to compromise. Any advice? -- Arizona Dear Arizona: Your mother seems to have some mental health issues and possibly a hoarding problem. We think she could benefit from therapy. Please make an appointment for her to see her doctor for a complete physical, and go with her.

Then ask the doctor for a referral to a therapist. Tell Mom that getting help is a requirement if she wishes to remain in your home. You sound like a loving daughter. The next time your grandparents chew you out, tell them they are more than welcome to take Mom in and care for her if they don’t like the job you are doing.

Dear Annie: I’m a 65-year-old single woman, retired on a comfortable income. I have everything one could want ex-

cept for friends and a social life.

I have taken courses, done volunteer work and joined groups that interest me in an effort to meet people, but no relationship progresses beyond the acquaintance stage. People never take the next step and invite me over or include me in their activities. I have taken the initiative on many occasions, but it’s seldom reciprocated. I don’t think it’s me.

I have one friend who lives nearby, but I have to make all the effort to get together. Senior groups are 10 years too old for me. All I ask is to have someone with whom to enjoy a dinner, go shopping or take a trip. I understand that people are busy, but I do so wish to be included sometimes. Any suggestions? -- Lonesome Dear Lonesome: You may be one of those people who needs to make the greater effort in order to have the social life you want. It helps to make yourself an interesting companion that people want to be around. Consider traveling to foreign countries with various groups, including the Peace Corps, which has a senior division, or Elderhostel. Closer to home, we recommend the Red Hat Society (redhatsociety.com) at 1-866-386-2850.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Modest in Iowa,” who doesn’t want a male nurse touching her. While I can understand her reaction, here’s my story.

Five years ago, at age 55, I was hospitalized and completely helpless. A male nurse showed up to help me take a shower. I was so upset by my hospitalization that I couldn’t even argue with him. And as time went on, I realized that he was a nurse like every other, male or female, and totally professional.

I wonder if her boyfriend would refuse the care of a female nurse if he ever found himself in the hospital. -- Senior Woman from Pennsylvania

from preceding page nity to pursue my passions for advocacy and to make a positive impact in the lives of others in this new role. I’m eager to get started and to ensure the work to bring quality, affordable health care to all Granite State families remains a top priority in New Hampshire.”

Smith’s passion for protecting the vulnerable and ensuring that all citizens have access to high-quality, affordable health care extends to her personal time; she has served on the Board of Directors of Genesis Behavioral Health and is a member of several state and local community-based service organizations and healthcare related workgroups.

A graduate of Saint Anselm’s College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN), magna cum laude, Smith also earned a Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) from the University of Minnesota.

NH Voices for Health initially formed as a grant proposal to a national foundation to support increased collaboration between health policy and health focused organizations in New Hampshire. The concept focused on a statewide policy network to share and exchange health access ideas and to support one another on policy initiatives.

While the proposal was not ultimately accepted, the idea was: New Hampshire-based health policy organizations recognized the potential of the network and gained the support of the NH Charitable Foundation, Endowment for Health and HNH Foundation. Now in its fourth year, the network has become an independent 501 c3 non-profit organization with a governing board and more than 40 network members representing over 200,000 individuals statewide who are motivated to help improve access to quality, affordable health care in New Hampshire.
